    Programming Contest - Can you code your way out of a paper bag?

    Didn't think I'd leave out my nerdy guys did ya?

    Finally, a contest for those of you who do all the behind-the-scenes work, and are never truly appreciated for what you do!

    Rules:

    1. Create a simple program, in any language you like, that can help the users of MMOwned, FPSOwned, or RTSOwned.
    2. You have only 500 lines of actual code to work with - For certain languages that require 'short tags', or other 'configuration' lines, they will be excluded. - If these lines in turn include other code that handles most of your program, you will be disqualified!
    3. 3rd party libraries are NOT allowed - If your language requires a framework (Java, .NET, etc) then this rule is obviously limited to only the default framework libraries.
    4. The code MUST be your own work! - Any plagiarized code will be means for disqualification. - Any code ripped from other projects (especially licensed projects [GPL, MIT, etc]) will likely see other punishment.
    5. Merging lines to conserve line count will be means for disqualification! (No, you can't put 30 lines of code on a single line. That's just not fair)
    6. Bonus points for creativity!
    7. Receiving any infractions, or temp bans during the contest is means for disqualification!


    Prizes

    First Place:
    1,000 MMOwned Cash
    Custom User Title - To be determined
    Special Usergroup for the month (no added privs)
    Custom Username Color/Glow
    Special placement of your program - as per administrative decision

    Second Place:
    500 MMOwned Cash
    Custom Username Color/Glow
    More TBD

    Third Place:
    250 MMOwned Cash
    Custom Title Color/Glow


    Deadline:

    You have 20 days from the day of this post to submit your entries!

    All entries should be PM'd to me. Any entries posted in this thread will not be valid!

    PM Content:

    What language is your program written in?
    What does the program do?
    How is it helpful?


    If the above content is not within your PM, then your entry will be deemed invalid.

    Create me a simple auctionhouse bot... Need to post what I have in bags (or a list where i can tell it to post) and auto undercut with 1 c . Then scan ah every 30 mins to see if i have been undercut, (quick auctions or auctionator addon can do this) If i have then cancel, run to mailbox to collect and re-auction. :P

    Would it be OK if I programmed it in Objective-C? Because that would make it OS X only..

    Sorry folks, I ran into some RL problems and couldn't maintain the contests as I would have liked to.

    I'll be extending the contests until the 31st of October. (5 days)

    You have until then to enter!
